Creation in the Elements

by Del Hungerford

Our body is made up of the four elements – earth, wind, water, and fire. As described in ancient texts, the elements are the fundamental ingredients in any creative process whether you’re a Jew, Buddhist, Christian, Atheist, or Muslim. All religions, including atheism (because it’s a belief system) tell a similar story with varying cultural perspectives. Where did they get this information? That’s often left up for debate but there is credible evidence that writing (like an alphabet - not heiroglyphs or Cuneiform tablets) first came from the Jews and spread to surrounding countries. There’s also plenty of evidence that the Jews created the first true alphabet, which is different than a form of pictures or marks, like hieroglyphs and Sumerian tablets. The best documentary on the alphabet subject is titled: Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy and can be found on Amazon or directly from the directors site. 

NOTE: All sources listed below!

In giving credit where it’s due, it wasn’t until I heard Kirby de Lanerolle introduce his “Luminous Tablets” that I gained a new level of understanding into how we “partner” with the elements in our personal creative process. How is that done? Through meditation, which he shows in many of his teachings (see sources below), how meditation is neuroscience at work. Kirby recently received a master's degree in neuroscience. I believe looking into the elements may have been part of his studies. 

There’s no need to fear meditation; it’s simply a method of bringing our being into a creative process. The Bible talks about meditation all over the place so go look up a few scriptures if this still concerns you. Meditation has nothing to do with religion. What meditation does is bring the body into alignment with our Divine Creator so that when we’re seated in a position WITH Him, we become co-creators. It takes us back to the beginning where we understand the creative process that was established by Yahweh “in the beginning.” Hence, the title of the album I created – Creation in the Elements.

Kirby presents evidence concerning the mystics and saints who understood and then wrote about our co-creative process with the elements. Setting aside our pre-conceived religious and spiritual ideas, we have a lot to learn from those who’ve gone before us. Why have we lost these truths? There are many reasons, which will remain unexplained here so you can do your own research. However, I will quote one section of Saint Patrick’s daily prayer that Kirby points out in his teaching on the elements titled, “I Arise Today.” Caps are added for emphasis on words connected with the five elements. “I arise today through the strength of HEAVEN: Light of SUN, Radiance of MOON, Splendor of FIRE, Speed of LIGHTNING, Swiftness of WIND, Depth of SEA, Stability of EARTH, Firmness of ROCK. I arise today Through God's strength to pilot me.”

Because there’s evidence that the Jews first introduced the concept about the elements in the creative process as described in Genesis 1, we’ll look at it from the Jewish perspective. As co-creators with Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh (Yahweh – the Hebrew name of God also known as the Tetragrammaton), we create an atmosphere that lines up with the original design for creation.

NOTE: Most religions use the name of YHVH (Yahweh) because they seem to understand there's power in that name. Interesting...

In the elements, we take back the full recipe of the original creation. From this point, we create our true reality – one that comes from heaven, then is released into the earth. From the void comes light as described in Genesis 1. It’s the spirit and the earth working together in a creative process of creation from the heavenly realm that’s realized in the earth realm. At the beginning, before the foundation of the world, we create from that position once again. Kirby states that “it’s our purpose to create the matrix – it’s creating our reality where others can enter in and have a new reality that comes from heaven.” We combine spirit and earth, allowing them to work together as Sons of God where we stand at the helm in the creative process.

Our first piece is to connect with the earth – the place we are given dominion over. It’s a connection to understanding earth as a connection of respect, rather than dictating. We are given the elements so we can reconcile with everything on earth. Through the elements, spirit meets matter, where we begin the reconciling process. Our formed light slows down and becomes matter through the meditative process – one that allows our neuropathways to connect the two. At the beginning, the statement, “It is finished!” was uttered. Our “creation” process shows in our body, our emotions, our will, our finances, etc. As we engage with the elements, redeeming them for their intended purpose, we become whole – spirit, soul, and body. We are meant to work together in harmony with the elements. From a position of creating with the elements, we adjust our thoughts, emotions, will, physical state, and our entire nervous system.  

Every major religion has a creation story where a Supreme Being created us. In the Jewish tradition, we are “Sons of God” as heirs to the kingdom. As Sons of God, we are given the elements – natural nature. We, too, are from this natural nature. From this position of authority, we’re tasked with the co-creating process in an environment called “dominion.” Here, we come into the full stature of Christ. We’re a powerful creator of the world we’re in (CEO, janitor, wife, father, etc.).

We reign from the mountain of our life in a creative world as we’re seated IN Christ on the throne of our lives. We recently watched the worldwide coronation of King Charles III. If you watched the coronation, you saw many parallels between reigning over a country to that of our personal lives. Every “element” of a coronation represents what goes on in our personal coronation process. This includes the crown, scepter, and orb. This information is presented in other blog posts (mountains, gates, castle, seat of rest, etc.) Each item that's part of the coronation has significant meaning for a specific authority. Our personal coronation occurs upon recognizing our responsibility, then coming into agreement with the partnering and co-creation process with the elements. It’s our personal creation as we grow in understanding of who we are IN Christ. This is about our identity and coming into alignment with who we were created to be from the beginning.

Again, no matter the religion, there is a protocol for a creative process where we take part in “a creation” of something. It’s a matter of recognizing that call – a call that takes us out of trauma, frustration, fear, anxiety, and the many other things that keep us from understanding our true identity as co-creators. It starts within us first. As we learn to govern our own lives, we’re then given more responsibility to govern situations outside of us from a position of love – a perfect love that overrides all negativity. Nothing can stand under the highest possible frequency of perfect and true love. It’s through the meditative process of bringing our entire being into a government of peace, love, and gratitude that properly aligns us with what was originally intended to be our co-creative procedure from the beginning of time.

Based on Kirby's description of the elements where he created "Luminous Tablets" using scientific neuroscience data in choosing the colors, I took those colors, turned them into musical frequencies, and then created music based off those frequencies. 

I talk about colors = musical frequencies in the "It's All About Frequency" series. In part 2 of that series, I provide images that show how color transforms to audio sounds via Hertz (Hz). Be sure to click on the above title to read that post if you want to geek out on technical information!

You'll find links to Kirby's description of how to use the Luminous Tablets in the sources below.

Music for the Luminous Tablets is available for purchase from Healing Frequencies Music! CLICK HERE to be redirected to the album page where you can hear samples and then purchase directly through Gumroad! 

Activation!

As you engage with each 30-minute musical element that’s based on the colors (nanometers translated to Hertz) within the Luminous Tablets, read over the attributes of each as a starting point. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Simply start off by listening to the music. Journal what you see, sense, hear, and feel. Write what first comes to your mind without judging it. Allow your intuition to lead the way in what you listen to and when you listen to it. Your being knows what it wants! Feel free to watch Kirby’s videos for a more detailed description on a method he uses to engage with the elements.

In part 2 of this series, I present specific affirmations that can be spoken as you ponder and engage with the music. Some of it is listed with the album descriptions. CLICK HERE to read part 2 of this artlcle on the Healing Frequencies Music website. 

Next, feel free to use the music for meditation, engaging with God as you continue to practice "seeing in the spirit," or any other manner which you like to infuse your being with the very essence of who God is IN you!

Happy practicing!

Uncovering the Truth

by Paulette Rahm.

Before you read this blog I would like you to ask yourself how do you read your bible or live as a believer. Do you see your identity as having to do, often shamed, condemned or unaccepted?  Or do you see your true identity as fully accepted, loved and completely ready to receive what Christ purchased for you on the cross? If you see yourself striving and performing always needing to do and be better you may be eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. BUT if you see yourself fully accepted, knowing God’s goodness, love and His inheritance while living in rest. Knowing  all of God’s promises are yes and amen, you are most likely eating from the tree of life. Knowing this will help you as you read this blog.

The world including believers has entered into an identity crisis. What do I mean by that? As I look around I am seeing and hearing kids who are identifying with being furries or cats. There are those who are entering into gender transformation not knowing what that means and all it entails both physically and psychologically. 

I then look at the Christian community who have the truth yet are struggling to know how to walk in their true identity as a believer. They have no idea what Jesus purchased for us on the cross. They have a mixed doctrine which causes confusion.This was Satan’s strategy planted in you when Adam and Eve believed the lie and partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. .(Genesis 3 “Has God really said?”)

The outcome of that distorted identity is works, striving, religion and moral failure.  This position is where we lose our true identity along with our  inheritance, our Union (relationship) with Father, Son and Holy Spirit and more. This is where we separated ourselves from Union with God. This is where Satan wants us to be. Yet God never moved away from us. He never stopped loving us, He created us and knew us before the foundations of the world. 

See what happened to Adam and Eve in the garden when they ate from the tree God said not to eat from. See how God perused them as they hid in shame and self condemnation 

Genesis 3:9 says, “Then God called to Adam and said to him, ‘Where are you.’” (NKJV) 

God did not separate Himself from them. They separated themselves from God. 

What I am discovering is the church has been teaching doctrines that do not line up with the LOVE of Father God, Jesus and the gospels.  These doctrines are doctrines of men portraying God to be an angry and wrathful God. 

As I read the Bible, scriptures and the Word I see God with love, patience, kindness, gentleness and joy. I see how the true gospel has eroded over the centuries and has kept humanity and creation veiled from the truth. We see Jesus Christ as an exact representation of Father God.  

In John 14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, (remember the disciples were steeped in the Mosaic law) and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? (ESV)

I know many who are reading this could be offended but I want to challenge you to go back into the gospels and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the true and loving nature of God, the actions and love of Jesus  towards the Father, and the work of the Holy Spirit. I want to challenge you to receive revelation of God’s LOVE and His true identity and purpose towards you.  When I did this I can only describe it as being born again, again. The JOY that flooded my being was indescribable. From that point  the WORD became alive in love, clarity and acceptance. God was truly my Father and He loves me,

In John 10, (vs 6) Jesus spoke to them (teachers of the law) using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them. 7 So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, (please note, we have believed the thieves and robbers was satan but the truth is it is the false teachers of the law, the Sadducees and Pharisees in this passage. This is who Jesus is addressing.) but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief (the false teachers) comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness. 

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, 15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.” (BSB Bible Hub)

Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection was the greatest expression of love, forgiveness, redemption, reconciliation and restoration mankind and creation could receive. No longer were we under the law (old Mosaic covenant, law, tree of the knowledge of good and evil or sin) but under grace and mercy (New Covenant, tree of life). Old things have passed away. Behold, all things become new. New creations: the first Adam was dead, the second Adam (Jesus Christ) brought life.

In 2 Cor 5:16, it says, From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (BSB Bible Hub)

I challenge you as you read the scriptures, read them from the position of a loving heavenly father not from the law of condemnation, works, starving or a lack of acceptance or identifying your sin. 

May I suggest starting  with the book of John and then the gospels.  What you will find is embracing your salvation through a love relationship having confidence God is for you and not against you. Perfect love casts out all fear. You will find your doctrines may change.

Romans 8:1 says, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a 2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (BSB Bible Hub)

You will then understand the veil that was between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies in Moses tabernacle was torn from top to bottom removing any barrier between God and humanity. The old Mosaic Covenant of the law is no longer valid. The New Covenant of Grace and Mercy through the death, resurrection and finished work of Christ on the Cross killed the first Adam defeating Satan’s plan to keep us from our original Identity as Sons of God to rule and reign with Christ.

Eph. 2:4 says, But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life. (BSB Bible Hub)

Col. 2:6, says, Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. 10 And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. (BSB Bible Hub)

Well my friends as a born from above believer it is time to embrace your true identity and stop eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and step into the tree of life where we live victoriously, rule and reign with Christ Jesus, live in the rest of the New Covenant promises while co creating and restoring creation. Thank you for joining my journey. There is and will be more.

Heavenly Trading

by Del Hungerford

The term “heavenly trading” was new to me in 2014. The first time I saw it in action, I was sitting in my seat during a large conference thinking “why are all these people going forward and throwing money in a bucket while people are speaking?” At first, it was a bit distracting but after I learned what it was all about, I understood the reason and then joined in.

In 2017, I attended a four-day conference. The hosts had set up “trading buckets” in each aisle as well as a couple buckets directly in front of the speaker. They explained that when the speaker said something that resonates within us, we can “trade into” that revelation by putting money in one of the buckets. Basically, by putting money in the bucket, we “own” a part of the revelation being spoken out. In a way, it’s saying “I’ll have some of that!”

The conference started out like many others where I’ve seen trading. Coins clanked in the buckets as people either leaned over a neighbor to throw money in the closest bucket or some others quietly walked up to the front and threw bills and coins into the bucket by the speaker. 

Then, by the second day, a strange thing started to happen. There was one lady very excited about her trading. You could hear her all over the room whistling and saying, “Yeah!!!” or “Uh huh!!” She’d then get up and throw bills into a variety of the buckets throughout the room.

Sitting in the back of the room, I watched as people either sneered or giggled at this display. To some, her behavior was very distracting. In my mind, I’m thinking, “Wow! She’s sure free in this!” At several points in the conference, she’d come back down the aisle towards her seat, handing dollar bills to those sitting in the aisle seats. During the breaks, I heard people making comments like “She sure is distracting and being disrespectful!” They were offended by her behavior. However, the speaker didn’t appear to notice or be bothered by what she was doing.

In my own little world, I watched as religious spirits reared their ugly heads. It was quite amusing, if I might say. Why? Because it was going against the grain of the typical religious establishment and people’s belief systems were being challenged. As this continued on throughout the conference, I noticed people begin to free up a bit. By the last day, there was literally a carpet of money from the back of the room all the way up the middle aisle ending in a pile before the speaker. Those still offended, remained offended, many sitting as far away as possible. But, it was their choice to remain offended. If you remember from previous posts, offense is a choice. 

How did this affect me? Although I feel fairly free in the principle of trading, I was still a bit shy (can you believe it?) when it came to getting up out of my seat to put money in the buckets. But, as I watched others free up, it did something in me, too. The speaker said something and I thought “I’ll trade into that!” By getting up and putting money in the bucket, it was easier to remember and then retain the spoken word. I actually internalized, in a deeper way, what the speaker said!

Additionally, I realized that trading in this manner opened up things within me. It’s similar to tithing but yet it’s very different. I gave to the person “feeding” me spiritually during this conference. At the same time, it released the angelic to work on my behalf. How do I know this? It wasn’t long after this conference when I began to notice some changes in my finances – changes for the better. I’ll touch upon that here in a bit.

Trading fits nicely within one of the spiritual laws – the law of sowing and reaping. I’m sure there are others but that’s not my focus here. When we tithe, it’s generally a “religious action” out of obligation. When we trade, it’s about receiving revelation. There’s no obligation because the focus is on taking in and then owning what God is saying through a speaker/minister. 

Trading is an act of worship. No, it’s not worshiping the speaker. It’s worshiping God who is releasing revelation through the speaker. In a sense, it’s similar to taking up an offering for a speaker but yet it’s so much more. It’s an action; an action that’s active where at the moment something witnesses in your spirit, you immediately say “I receive that!” Those words (or thoughts ) are backed up with the act of getting money out for the trade. Now, we don’t have to be religious about this. At this conference, when I wasn’t sitting near a trading bucket, I simply threw money on the floor and put it in the buckets at the end of each session.

Trading can also be “casting your crowns at His feet.” (Gal. 2:20) For example, I’m learning to take compliments, cool things that have happened, and answers to prayer as a trade, too. I envision myself going before the throne and setting the compliment or answered prayer at the feet of Jesus. I then ask for more of Him in my life. It takes practice (by remembering to do it) but I find the more I trade in this manner, the more of His love I feel in my life. It also affects everything else in my life, but especially in my finances.

What did I learn from this conference? I loved watching how people were set free, which in turn helped me get set free in some areas concerning money. I no longer look at “only the 10%” when giving. My attitude is no longer “Do I have enough to do this?” I don’t over extend but I find that when giving out of love, desire, and revelation, it’s a turbo boost in all that Yahweh has for me. I’ve gone to some of these conferences with very little money and traded pennies or nickles while others traded big bills. There’s no condemnation. You give what you can. It’s the act of faith in trading something for what you desire.

There are many forms of trading. When I go get a haircut, I’m actually trading into the expertise of the person cutting my hair. The hairdresser has something I need and want. I give her money and she gives me my haircut. When I buy groceries, I’m trading my money for food so I can eat. A trade is one thing for another. I owned a camper trailer. That’s a trade, too. The Jayco company gave me a very nice 23-foot travel trailer with an awesome slide-out and each month, I gave a credit union money for the privilege of keeping that travel trailer. I’m trading money for something I want. So, when we decide to purchase things, it’s a good idea to look at the company we’re trading into. Political interest groups trade all the time. We know it well – If you give a politician money, you’re trading into their political belief system. This is how votes are “purchased.” Uh, yeah… enough said about that.

Sowing and Reaping

This is where we talk about good and bad trades. Remember the sowing and reaping principle? If we put forth a bad trade, we’ll reap something we probably don’t want. Do you want an example? Let’s say that my neighbor comes over after she finds out I purchased a teaching set from a conference. She really wants to hear the teachings but doesn’t have the funds to purchase the set. So, I go ahead and e-mail the files to her or put them on a thumb drive so she can listen on her own time.

Well, that’s a bad trade. Why? Because it’s taking money away from the organization that paid to put on the conference. In that case, both me and my neighbor have made a bad trade and, we’ll reap the benefit of that trade. Even if her intentions are pure to actually purchase the conference set when she does have the funds, I’m still in the wrong by giving her a copy of the teachings. Now, if she wants to sit in my living room and listen with me, that’s OK. I’m not actually giving her something that could take away income from someone else.

I’m probably hitting another sacred cow but here goes… Going in with a group of people to purchase a conference set is no different than the example I gave with my neighbor. If you plan to take that one purchase, make copies and distribute those copies to everyone who contributed, you’ve just taken money out of the pockets of the organization who is selling the conference set.

If you all sit and listen, taking notes together, you’re accessing the one copy that was purchased. There’s nothing wrong with that unless the speaker/organization asks you not to do that. The moment you make a copy and hand it to someone else, a bad trade has been made. We need to learn how to go before God and ask for the needed finances for what we desire rather than expect things for free because we can’t afford them. When you purchase music, a teaching or any other digital item, you pay for ONE item (or set of items if several items are included in the set). The moment you make additional copies and distribute those, you’ve broken copyright laws. Flat out – that’s a bad trade.

I have found that people actually value something more when they have to pay for it. When things are free, it’s taken for granted because there’s no ownership. Yeah, I’m not going to turn down something for free if it’s legit. I love it when speakers give away their books at conferences. What we should do in the event we get one of those free books is to take that gift before God and trade for more of Him and then ask for more blessings to flow towards the author. Or, we can turn around and give something of value to us to someone else. 

Over the last few years, I’ve been “practicing” more of the trading principle. When I go to conferences, sign up for live streamed events, or work with mentoring groups, I ask Papa how much to trade. The more I do it, the more free and joyful I become during the process. The cool part? I’m starting to see more funds come in through unexpected ways! Financial miracles are beginning to happen in my life. At this time, I’m still learning to be “ruler over little so I can be ruler over much” (Matt 25:23). It’s like anything else; as we become trustworthy in the small things, we can then be trusted with more as we mature. When I see little victories, I rejoice and trade those for bigger victories.

Story Time!

Let me give you an example of starting with small things. When I lost my home in Moscow, Idaho through eminent domain (2019), there were no houses on the market in Moscow within my price range. After receiving the relocation paperwork, it was nearing the time before we had to move and I hadn't yet found anything. On a very cold January morning, I heard the Lord say "Go look on Craiglist." I found the house I'm living in now.

The original article was written in 2017. It's now 2025 and I've lived in the new house for 6 years. Some additional circumstances led me to put my house on the market in preparation to move back to the Moscow area to begin the next phase of what's on my life scroll. To make a long story short, I did the right things to my house by properly investing in the future of this house. The value increased by 400% because of the improvements I made, all at the direction of the Lord. Now, had I not listened to His voice, it would be in a difficult situation now. Many people who came, "traded" into my current home through labor, cash donations, and materials as I turned it into a retreat center where NW Ekklesia met together for small gatherings. 

Why is this a big deal? Even though this is a small thing, it’s a forward moving step for me. If I handle situations properly, I'm propelled into the next level of authority, maturity, and financial freedom. And, I can be trusted with more money. As we learn, we’re trusted with more of everything.

My declaration over you today: May you walk in the light, love and glory of Yahweh. As you trade for more of Him in your life, may you see profound differences in all your circumstances. I release joy and peace over you as you walk with Him in His presence. Be infused with all He is so you can walk in health, wholeness and victory in your life!

Blessings!

Harmony Within the Spirit, Soul, and Body

by Del Hungerford

Have you ever been on a journey that seemed to take forever? On this journey, it's all by faith where eventually answers to questions came through living life? 

In 2019, I moved from Moscow, Idaho further north after losing my home to eminent domain. That followed walking through an abusive marriage where I discovered my true identity in the healing process. It seemed like many things were a bit haywire for a season but somehow I knew light would be shed upon the process. From 2010 to late 2023, I worked through a lot of life "junk" so I could be healtier - spirit, soul, and body. That journey of discovery led me to understand there is an order in which our being prefers to function. I describe that process in this post and in several writings I've done over the past few months. 

As of this writing (July of 2025) but by the time you see it, I'll have moved toward the Moscow area again because the season of my life is changing. where new adventures await! We begin with a story from not long ago...

ENTER.... February of 2024

I'm sitting in my strategy room in heaven with Papa. I hear, "it's time to write another book." I'd been pondering the idea for some time but hadn't quite decided or even figured out how that would look, maybe because I was also in the middle of making the decision to move locations again. 

In 2009, I'd written the book, But Words Will Never Hurt Me. As you can tell by the title, the book was about living through an abusive marriage. In 2015, I added a supporting workbook. 

After learning about and practicing "kingdom protocol," for quite some time, it was evident the new book would be a sequel to But Words Will Never Hurt Me. Sitting down at my computer in early February while snow and super cold weather continued to drown north Idaho in wintery goodness, I began to write. 

After some time, I felt the title of the book should be Transforming Mindsets. Why that title? It involved me completely reframing everything I thought about how to function in life.

After writing Transforming Mindsets, I went on another journey of discovery as the Lord began to speak to me about my journey of healing over the last twenty years. For readers on this website, it's obvious in my books that I've followed a few "fringe" teachers that the religious community tends to scoff at. I have to ask the question about the elephant in the room to these people... Is what you're doing working? If so, where's the evidence? Evidence demands a verdict. Hmmm... I think there's a book with this name by Joshua McDowell. His book is about Biblical archeaological discoveries. Mine is about how people in church walk in healing - spirit, soul, and body. 

The question remains... what are WE doing to demonstrate life abundantly? Are we living what we speak? How are we demonstrating the Love of God to those around us? Do people want what we have? Do we mostly live a healthy and vibrant life? Is our "joy meter" higher than it's even been before? Do we see things from a positive perspective even in the middle of negative junk? If we answer yes to these questions, then we're doing the right things despite what religious communities have to say. Therefore, I rest my case. The proof of our heart attitudes lies in our behavior. 

Immediately following writing Transforming Mindsets, I knew there was more work to do. I then began a teaching (self-paced class) where I show people my process of walking into greater healing. This came through a variety of teachings along with a lot of self-discovery and spending time in the garden of my heart with Father, Jesus, and those within the Cloud of Witnesses. Some now call the garden of our heart the "inner castle." It's the term I use in the teaching set because it's what people are familiar with. 

Mountains, Gates, and Castles Course

As I put together this new teaching, I went back over the last 14 years of my life and began to piece together the process of discovery. What led to everything? I was sick and couldn't understand what was causing the illness. The doctors couldn't figure it out. Counselors and inner healing experts were stymied and I had nowhere else to go but directly into the arms of Jesus.

Using my sanctified imagination, I continued a journey of discovery into how our being functions - one like a mountain where we "resonate" or shine forth to others what's coming from our inner self. When we learn to function from our spirit that aligns with the Perfect Love of God, everything lower down the mountain comes into alignment. When we function from our soulish emotions, the best we can function is from the bottom half of the mountain. In this teaching set, Mountains, Gates, and Castles, I use mountain symbolism to describe how our spirit, soul, and body work together

A snippet of what I learned...

I realized that I had to learn to function from my spirit that's connected directly to God. First Love plus spirit equals healthy living. Some say the spirit can be corrupted. I disagree. Why? I think it's more of a blockage between the soul and spirit. This happens when our main functioning ability comes from the soul where we're led by negativity that comes from our emotions. During this time, the spirit takes a back seat. 

I had to re-awaken my spirit. I did that through opening and cleansing the "gateways" of the spirit, soul, and body. Once the spirit gates are opened and filled with Perfect Love, the soul says, "Hey!? What's going on up there? I want some of that!" The soul then has an anchor for living out of abundance. The body, which sits at the bottom of the mountain hangs in for the ride and eventually realizes what's coming out of the soul is much different that before. A positive outlook on life, despite circumstances causes the body to ask, "Hey!? What's going on up there? Let me in on the secret!" 

We know that emotional issues settle in the body. There's plenty of science out there now to prove this. I'm also living proof of how that works, too. After doing gateway work DAILY for about 9 months, I realized that the 19-year illness was gone! How did that happen? Finally, my spirit had taken its righful place at the top of the mountain where it could see everything from a higher perspective as it entangled with Perfect Love. Because my spirit took its rightful place on my "seat of rest," my soul could step into its proper position as well. The body can then follow suit. The entire process is still ongoing as I continue to mature. It will be the same for you. 

VIA Assessment and Passion Recipes Course

The other puzzle piece involved understanding my strengths and how to use them. I created another teaching set titled "VIA Assessment and Passion Recipes." where I figured out methods of categorizing our strengths and passions. As per my usual method, I hear teachings of others and create my own exercises and step in my heavenly strategy room for more guidance and direction that uniquely fits my design.

Part of my "call" in life is to discover simple methods of learning how to do things. I then show others and hopefully, this helps them their journey, too. This is the job of a teacher, which comes natural for me. 

We all have passions and desires. As I began to function on my personal mountain seated "in Christ" on the throne of my life where I'm functioning from a position of rest, everything else began to fall into place. I finally understood there is an proper order for functioning as a spirit, soul, and body being. This creates a three-stranded cord or "bench of three" as some say that brings about a governmental authority we have over our lives. This is truly mountain top living! When I'm seated in rest with Christ, I'm not a living sacrifice that continues to crawl off the altar. Why not? It's because I stay seated "In Him."

When I do get off my seat of rest, it gets easier and easier to get back on once I realize what I've done. At first, I was too steeped in "stinking thinking" that had seered itself into my consciousness. That took time to unravel. As I began to walk through what I've presented in these two teaching sets, and my book, I've become a healthier person, spirit, soul, and body. My personal journey of healing is told in the book, Transforming Mindsets. If my journey resonates with you, I encourage you to see if what I have to offer may help you.  

May you enjoy your own personal journey of discovery! The most important factor? I encourage you to purchase Transforming Mindsets and the two courses, especially if you're still on that road to discovring your personal identity as a Son of God or... you're dealing with emotional or physical issue where you could use some healing.

The most important thing to do is enjoy the journey!

Fear of Deception

by Del Hungerford

The fear of deception is deception. Fear creates deception so why play with it?

Deception is a subject many believers struggle with. What is it? How do we fall into deception? How can we stay OUT of deception? What do we do once we realize we’re deceived? These are the top four questions uttered by believers concerning deception.

Notice the first word in the title of this post – “fear.” When there’s a fear of being deceived, that’s fear. It doesn’t matter how it’s cloaked or honey coated. Plain and simple, fear of deception is fear. That alone opens the door for deception to sprout. Such small seeds create large trees. If the enemy can coerce us into fear, that gives him the open door to proceed with watering the seed of fear. We fertilize it with “fear food.” It’s the “what if?” principle that feeds fear.

Over on the Healing Frequencies Music website, it’s amazing how many Christians contact me saying what I do is new age. They want nothing to do with my music because they’re fearful of deception. People don’t seem to mind expressing a fear of deception. Some wear it like a badge thinking it makes them holier because they’re able make a stand against something they’re told is of the enemy. 

There was a meme going around Facebook that said “Don’t feed the fears!” What would happen if we followed the advice of that quote? We must let go of the "what if's." If we can't do that, we could easily fall into deception. 

Much of what I do in researching healing music, frequencies, energy, sacred geometry, etc., involves looking at weird stuff. As I delve deeper into what the organization (or person) says, the motive/attitude eventually presents itself. Some research is solid and well done. However, what they DO with it is another thing. 

There’s a recent (well-known) movie/documentary on quantum physics where the main character (an actress) goes about her life. Over the top of this action, groups of scientists, religious figures, and “healers” discuss how consciousness affects everything. At the beginning, many refer to God. By the end, it’s all about bringing OURSELVES into a higher level of consciousness. Where I think it goes a bit sideways is when it becomes “all about me.” Everything is done through human strength. Uh, yeah… take a look around and see how that’s working out for us. Some of the information in this movie is correct. It’s the conclusion (self-reliance) that makes it wonky.

We are told that we can do all things through Christ (Phil. 4:13), that in HIM we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). We are instructed to be seated IN Him from a place of rest (Eph. 1:21), etc... Do any of those scriptures indicate that we do this on our own? When we do things on our own, it's out of the soul, not the spirit. In other posts on this site, you'll see that the soul is in the middle of the mountain. When this occurs, we're leaving out the spirit which sits in Perfect Love. When we reign from our soul, we indeed are doing things in our own strength. For those who are solely led by your emotions, how's that working out for you? If you're finding things difficult, consider getting on your seat of rest where you can see every situation through the eyes of God. From this position, you have better vision. 

I ran across several videos on resonance and how objects were used (in ancient times) to create enough energy to levitate items. Some scholars finally admit it’s probable the Egyptian pyramids were built using resonance as the energy source. Yes, it really IS all about sound, energy, and vibration as Nikola Tesla so famously states. In one particular video, I thought “Wow! This guy must be a believer” because he used “Christianese” language. Somewhere along the way, God was disconnected from the equation. My question… does this mean the entire video is deceptive? My answer to that is an emphatic NO!” Why? The information is correct. It’s the interpretation and conclusion that’s off.

A disconnect from the “Source” is the problem with new age thinking. The goal is for us – humans – to be the source. In other words, when we leave God out of the process, we function in our own strength. The enemy can only take what God already created and make a counterfeit. He can only duplicate. For years, my question was “If that’s the counterfeit, what’s the real thing?” No one knew the answer. It didn’t stop me on my quest for the truth even though some thought I was dipping too far into enemy territory.

The Word says “He that is within me is greater than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4) Uh, that means if I don’t pay attention to or focus on what the enemy does, there’s nothing he can do to “get” me. Because Christ lives in me and I live IN Him, I have more power in my little fingernail than all of what the enemy throws at me. Remember that he goes about AS a roaring lion. (1 Peter 5:8) He is harmful IF we allow it. When I use what I call the “come up here” principle, I’m IN Christ where the enemy’s antics make no difference. I’m in a higher position OVER his antics. Where we get mixed up is by fearing deception. That allows familiar spirits to talk smack to us. We entertain that smack and next thing you know, we’re in trouble!

I’ve found a good barometer in determining what’s of God and what’s not. The first “rule” (if you want to call it that) is to remember that we’re created for relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s out of that relationship we live, move, and have our being. When the relationship is our focus, everything else falls into place. I then take that barometer with me when watching wonky and weird videos. 

Because the whole consciousness thing was hijacked by new age thought, we tend to tread lightly with one foot in and the other out ready to scram at any moment. (Cue spooky music here) I sit with Yahweh, Yeshua, and Holy Spirit while watching these videos. I ask, “Where’s the truth in this?” I ask questions and even talk out loud as if they’re sitting in my living room right next to me in fleshly form. Yes, I can see them in the spirit because that’s where I go to engage them. But, at the same time, I’m tuned into what’s happening in both the spirit and physical realms.

Honestly, very little of what I’ve learned about energy, sound, and frequency came from listening to Christians. I experience it first, often not understanding what I see. Some time later, I watch a video and what I witnessed in the kingdom realms (in the spirit), I then see on the video! Other times, what’s presented strongly witnesses with my spirit. I take it to God where we have discussions and I often see more. None of this comes out of fear. I generally check any fear at the door, cover myself with the Blood of Jesus and simply move forward. I have to trust that He that is in me, is greater than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4) If something doesn’t make sense, I ask. I don’t always get answers right away. They aren’t in my preferred timing either. It’s amazing how these experiences bring scripture to life, too. Stuff I read and never understood all of a sudden makes sense!

When I focus on building relationship with the Trinity, that’s when things change. I no longer appear before God pleading, “I really need this right now because ________.” I want to genuinely understand the love and character of God. Out of that relationship, my attitudes changed. Then, amazingly, things around me started to change, too. I didn’t need to ask. I simply got into that place of rest IN Christ and governed my life FROM that position. Out of that position, my understanding changed which then allowed circumstances to change. When we’re in a position of authority in our lives IN Christ, it’s easier to see the answer. To do this, we must learn to be comfortable with who we are in Christ. No more “I’m not good enough… Why would God want to use me? … What if I mess it up?… What if I’m deceived?”

How does this relate to fear of deception? When we’re IN Him, we aren’t looking at deception. Our eyes are on YHVH and we look for His answers. Then, as we’re directed to go where “no Christian has ever dared to go before,” there’s no need to be fearful.

That being said, not every place is for every believer to go. Tread wisely. It’s like an orchestra that has families of instruments. Everyone has a part to play. They’re different but compliment the other parts. We find out what our individual piece is and go there. Sometimes, things are above our paygrade. When we've had enough experience, we're given more authority. 

It’s easy to be lazy. I wanted quick answers and asked questions of others on this same path. Many times I got, “Go ask God yourself!” We are so used to sitting in church being preached AT. We don’t get the opportunity to participate so we function out of expecting others to feed us. That doesn’t work well in the kingdom (heavenly) realms. Answers come out of building relationship with God. This brings me back to the very beginning of my point about deception. Because my relationship with God is strengthening and I understand more about His character and desires, it’s much easier to read the barometer of deception when I do tread in strange places. For example, let’s revisit that same video I mentioned at the beginning about levitating large stones with sound, resonance, and energy. By the end, it was obvious the speaker’s goal was to do these things himself without building relationship with the Creator who brought all of these pieces together! He acknowledged that we have a Creator who gave us these tools but his focus was on finding the answers within himself. His research was solid but the conclusion wreaked of new age thinking. That didn’t make anything he said less true.

My advice to those reading this… When faced with something that feels off, take it before God. Ask questions that Many times, we find it’s our paradigms that need shifting because of misinterpreted scripture or bad teaching. We rely upon what we’ve been taught over the truth. When we don’t fear deception, it’s easier to find God’s truth. The moment we give into that fear, the door is opened for the seeds of deception to sprout and grow some ugly trees. Why not take that fear and trade it for love IN the situation and see what happens? It’s time to give the fear of deception a good ‘ole kick in the butt so we can move on with the call that God has on our lives!

Activation!

If you're still concerned about deception, especially with anything on this site, do me a favor and take your concerns to the Lord with an open mind. That means you're willing to see something from a different perspective other than what you already know or have been taught. Be willing to let go of any "sacred cows" that you've held onto for a very long time. Until we're all willing to do that, it's easy for any of us to walk in deception. What we think we know, we probably don't know. Of course, I wouldn't be saying that had I not done it myself. 

Visualize your seat of rest where you're seated in Christ. Sanctify your imagination with the Blood of Jesus by either taking communion first or visualize your being painted with His blood. Feel the emotion of God's love for you from a position of peace. Grab a journal and be prepared to write what you see, hear, sense, and feel during that quiet time. If something comes to you from left field - meaning it's something you have never thought on your own, pay special attention to it. If you need some peaceful music to listen to, might I suggest you try the album Yahweh in the Elements? I sing and play the 7 most divine names of God in and through the music.  

Shalom!

Authority in Your Seat of Rest

by Del Hungerford

How can we have “authority” while being in that place of rest in our lives? How can we function from a restful position when circumstances try to get the best of us? The first item on the agenda is to make a decision to be “in” a place of rest.

For several days before writing the original post (in 2018), I watched videos on kingship and what it’s like to sit on a throne while ruling and reigning from that position. Both Mike Parsons and Ian Clayton talk about getting on the “seat of rest.” What does this REALLY mean? Although I’ve been “practicing” getting onto the seat of rest for quite some time, I desired to have a greater understanding of how this can affect me in my daily life. Enter from left stage… the British Monarchy.

Things simply seem to happen at times where something pops up and I think, “Hmmm…. maybe I should take a look at that!” In doing some research for Healing Frequencies Music, I was on YouTube and something about Queen Elizabeth popped up as a suggestion to watch. That got my thinker to working, one thing leading to the next.

The suggested video was of her coronation in 1953. So, I watched it. Although it was over two hours long, I was still quite intrigued. With lots of fanfare, crowds lined the streets to have a glimpse at their new queen. Inside Westminster Abbey, the ceremony included symbolism centered around Christian ideals. The entire ceremony focused on Queen Elizabeth as being the anointed one for the position. Does that sound familiar?

At the time, Queen Elizabeth’s coronation was a spectacular event for a couple of reasons. First off, no coronation before that time had ever been televised. The public was given a glimpse of the majority of the ceremony. This made it possible for the entire world to watch! The only part NOT televised was the actual anointing since it was considered an intimate time between the Queen and God. During the anointing, a canopy was placed over her so the cameras couldn’t see how the archbishop conducted that part of the ceremony. Next – for the first time (because it was televised), commentators had the opportunity to explain to the public what was happening throughout the coronation. This included explaining the symbolism of the regalia and crown jewels.

Let’s explore that symbolism for a moment. I’ll list the basic items and provide a quick synopsis of their symbolism. CLICK HERE for the link for further information. CLICK HERE for another website that has a simple explanation of the coronation ceremony and crown jewels.

  • Coronation Chair – It’s known as the St. Edward’s Chair and is an ancient wooden chair that British monarchs sit on during the investiture part of the ceremony. This is where the anointing takes place.
  • Ampulla And Coronation Spoon – used for the anointing. The anthem “Come, Holy Ghost” is recited followed by the music Zadok the Priest by Handel. The anointing is carried out with a golden canopy over the monarchs head since the anointing is considered a very sacred part of the ceremony. Prior to the anointing, the monarch puts on simple white linen clothing with no frills or extra ornamentation.
  • Spurs and Chivalry – the monarch receives a series of ornaments that symbolize the chivalric nature of kingship. For Queen Elizabeth, wrist bands were put on her after she received more robes. This is considered the investing part of the ceremony.
  • The Sword of Offering – The sword symbolizes protection, good, and the punishment of evil.  The sword is then placed on the altar after being presented to the monarch.
  • The Orb – The orb represents the rule of Jesus over the world and is handed to the monarch. After the presentation, the orb is put back on the alter.
  • Ring – The ring represents the monarch’s “marriage” to the nation. It’s presented after the orb and more royal robes.
  • Scepter and Rod – symbolizes the monarch’s role as pastoral carer for her people. It also includes one of the largest diamonds in the world (Cullinan). The scepter has a dove on top that represents the Holy Ghost.
  • St. Edward’s Crown – This crown is only used during a coronation ceremony, where it is placed on the monarch’s head at the moment of coronation. Following the placing of the crown, the words “God save the Queen!” are repeated three times by everyone. Church bells ring, trumpeters play a fanfare, cannons are fired off, anthems are sung, and the crowds generally go wild with excitement. This crown is only worn once – at the time of coronation.
  • Imperial State Crown – This crown is placed on the monarch following the coronation and after the monarch moves from the coronation chair to the enthronement chair. The enthronement chair is where homage is paid to the monarch by the bishops and archbishops. In addition to the crown, the monarch also carries the orb and scepter along with new royal robes. The Imperial State Crown is worn again at the opening of parliament. It symbolizes the sovereignty of the monarch.

Although the information above is only a quick synopsis of the bits and pieces of a British Coronation, it was enough to give me a picture of how to be on the “throne of my life.” It helped me frame in my mind how I can “rule and reign” in my personal life.

Let’s face it, if we don’t have control over our own lives, what we say to others about their lives won’t carry much weight. First we do, then we can show others. As you read through the symbolism, Holy Spirit may highlight things that will help you on your journey.

To practice taking authority in our own lives, we must first see that there’s a throne to sit on. Some people envision this throne at the top of a mountain. Mountains are high. The higher we go, the better view we have of everything below. A mature king or queen will sit on a throne and “rule” without freaking out about everything that he/she comes face-to-face with. So, when life’s circumstances present themselves to me, I have a choice to go to that throne of my life and say to the circumstance, “Sorry, today’s not your day to assert authority in my life. Oh wait, no day is good for that. Good bye!” (Sound of spiritual door slamming…)

Here’s where the symbolism of the crown jewels becomes helpful. I’m a visual learner so when I can get a picture of how something might look, it’s easier to “see” it happen in my life. I’m anointed with the authority to be in control of my life. I do that through Christ who is in me. Then, I receive protection, see myself seated “in Christ,” put on the royal robes or righteousness, receive guidance from Holy Spirit, take the “rods” of authority and then put on a crown which solidifies that I can indeed rule and reign over my own life IN Christ. I actually get a picture in my mind of sitting INTO Jesus INTO a throne where I wrap the robes around the two of us. This is daily practice for me.

Here’s the problem… circumstances present themselves. It’s on the throne that we are in that place of rest because we are “in Him.” When we’re in that restful position, we have the assistance of Yahweh, Yeshua, and Holy Spirit. What more authority could there be than that!? So, when a circumstance comes flitting by, I look at it and then make a choice to stay in that position of rest. Well… that’s my goal. If I stare at it too long and then begin to entertain doubtful thoughts, it’s a bit more difficult to stay in that place of rest.

How do I do it? I’ve found that when things come at me that want to pull me off that place of rest, including antics of the enemy, the key is to look at Yahweh. I could care less what the enemy does and generally don’t look at the distractions he puts before me. In his case, ignoring is bliss.

Where’s the focus? That focus determines how we stay in that place of rest, on that throne, where life circumstances must come under our feet. No, it’s not always easy but if we can get control of the thoughts that tend to come with hard circumstances, everything else is much easier. I find that praying in tongues and worshiping is very helpful. I don’t dwell on the negative and will often go find something to do that brings me to a place of peace. That will be different for each person. For me, it generally involves worship.

Another major key is practice! PRACTICE!!!! It’s best to practice when things are going well. That way, when the hard stuff is thrown at us, precedence and protocol are set so those situations are a bit easier to deal with. Although I still have a long ways to go, I also take every little victory (no matter how small) and rejoice over it. Growth is growth. I may not always notice a difference but when people around me start saying things like, “Hey! there’s so much peace on you!,” that’s a sign to me there’s growth. I then actually take those compliments to the trading floors and trade for more of Yahweh in my life. I want more of Him. It truly is ALL about relationship. And, going back to Queen Elizabeth, we have the anointing to be on the seat of rest in our lives, just like she was anointed to be Queen of England. That anointing gives us the authority to rule and reign over our lives.

With that, may your journey into the place of authority through your seat of rest be an amazing one!

Activation!

Use the picture of the throne on top of the waterfall as a starting point. Begin the activation be seeing yourself climb up a staircase or going deep into your heart or some other visual that helps you understand you're "ascending" into the realm of the spirit. If you remember the picture of the mountain with all the gateways (posted below as well), this throne and waterfall of Perfect Love are underneath the throne of your life at the top of your mountain where you're seated in Christ marinating in Perfect Love. From there, continue...

  • If you need some peaceful music, might I suggest a song from my Creation in the Elements album. The water element has a gentle waterfall playing in the background. Notice the song title Emotions in the Water. 
  • From a place of rest, feel the emotions of love, peace, and gratitude. Let them flow through your entire being. Wait to do the next part until you see, sense, hear, or feel these emotions flowing through you.
  • Look at your throne from a distance and then see yourself walk up to it. Jesus is already sitting on it waiting for you to join Him.
  • Go sit "into Jesus" on the throne of your life. Begin to feel the rest and peace in this place. Marinate in that rest and peace, allowing anything negative to float on down the "river of your thoughts." You can even let them flow into the River of Love that's coming from Jesus and into the waterfall.
  • Stay in the place for some time. 
  • Look around. What do you see, hear, sense, and feel about things in your life? Write what comes to your mind first, even if it doesn't make sense. Write now, judge later. 
  • As time goes on (maybe on another day?), begin to process what you get in the spirit while on your seat of rest.
  • Repeat FREQUENTLY until this activation becomes second nature to you. Of course, it will morph over time where you may find yourself in a different spot, in a different circumstance, and with others besides Jesus. As you mature, you'll see and understand more. Until then, get used to being in this place of rest. When life situations come up that cause anxiety, worry, or fear - come to this place. Stay as long as needed to get back into a place of rest and peace.

Enjoy the journey!

Taming the Soul

by Del Hungerford

Taming the soul – what a title! You’re probably thinking “what does that mean?” 

For quite some time, I’ve been releasing Perfect Love into the spirit, soul, and body gateways. The gateways involve opening them up and exercising them by allowing the life, light, and glory of God to flow through them into the soul and body gates. Huh? If you’re not familiar with your gateways, I suggest that you purchase my self-paced course, Mountains, Gates, and Castles. When I first began the process of "cleaning" the gateways, I didn't use this gentle approach. What I've discovered is that because Perfect Love is the strongest possible frequency, it can take out some pretty nasty stuff when we infuse that frequency into our gates. Perfect Love is like a weed killer with a lot more strength. That then allows for a more gentle approach with issues that feel so hard. Hmmmm....

Our goal as kingdom-minded believers is to function out of who we are meant to be by developing an intimate relationship with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. There’s only one problem… we all have junk to deal with. And, that junk clouds our ability to function “in Him.” This is where starting with the gateways comes in. Think of a gate as an opening that allows things in and out. Look at all the scriptural references in the Old Testament about the purpose of each gate in the city. Remember that everything in the natural is a mirror of what’s in the supernatural so by studying the gateways in and out of the city of Jerusalem, we can learn a lot about our own gateways.

I’ll give a quick synopsis so I can introduce you to the gateways concept. Basically, we have four sets of gates: First love, spirit, soul, and body. First love is our direct communion with the Father where we truly function in Him. We allow the life, light, and glory of the Father to come into us from the Throne of Grace. It’s in the first love gate that we are infused with all that we need to function as a spirit being.

From the top of our mountain, we're seated on the throne of our life where we govern "in Him" all that's below Perfect Love. Your seat of rest is on that throne. Whatever we allow into the gates of our lives is what dictates our behavior. 

The spirit gates are prayer, reverence, faith, hope, intuition, revelation, fear of God, and worship. We are to allow the life, light, and glory of the Father to flow from the position of first love into our spirit gates. In reality, we are to be governed by our spirit instead of our soul. However, for most of us, it’s the other way around. And, that’s why we run into issues.

The soul gates are conscience, reason, imagination, mind, will, emotions, and choice. Notice that our emotions are a soul gateway instead of a spirit gate? When we let our imaginations and emotions run wild, we are functioning out of our soul. The soul is to bow down to the dictates of the spirit. In other words, the soul has to take orders from the spirit once we are “born again.”

The final set of gateways are the body gates: seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling. I see the gates like a mountain with First Love being at the top where I sit in my seat of rest and rule my life from that position. As I function out of my spirit, those gates open and the life, light, and glory of the Father flows down the mountain into the spirit gates, then to the soul gates, and finally to the body gates at the bottom of the mountain. Everything is governed from the top down. Or, from inside out since we are spirit beings first.

Houston! We have a problem!!! This is where it gets very tricky. We are too often ruled by our emotions, our mind where we reason everything out (oh how busy the mind can be), our choices, and our will. The conscience feeds into all the others. We have these things called “familiar spirits” that whisper sweet nothings into our ears. Many times, we don’t even realize it’s a familiar spirit talking and we actually think it’s God.

Time out! Yes, familiar spirits are even around Christians. What renders those nasty little familiars useless is our UNwillingness to listen to them and heed their whisperings. It’s a choice despite how you feel. When we allow our soul to rule, we entertain familiar spirits on a regular basis. The mind of Christ comes directly from Father, into our place of first love with Him and then through through the spirit gates (prayer, reverence, worship, faith, hope, intuition, revelation, and the fear of God). As we allow the spirit to govern the soul, our emotions and thought life begin to line up with who we are in Christ.

Need an example of a soul in control? You’re at a social event. Everyone is talking and having a great time but it appears as though people are leaving you out of the conversation or… you make eye contact with someone who quickly glances the other direction. You have a choice here… If you start thinking and the pondering on thoughts like, “why are people ignoring me?,” you’re actually entertaining a familiar spirit. Or, how about one of my favorite examples… You’re talking with friends and joking around with one another when someone pipes up with a comment such as “You might look better in that outfit if you were twenty years younger.” Again, you have a choice. Will you be offended? Trust me, the moment those words hit the atmosphere, we are given the opportunity whether to listen to a familiar spirit that sits by the soul gates just waiting for us to engage it or, turn into our spirit and let it make the decision on how to respond. Yeah, people who say such dumb things have their own issues but you have a CHOICE in how you want to deal with any stupidity that comes your way. 

Hear me out for a minute. I’m willing to put my neck out on a limb to say that many of the issues we face with our emotional state could be rectified IF we allow the spirit gates to rule over the soul gates. What do I mean by this? Another example should help explain. As many who’ve read my blogs know, I left an abusive marriage. There were some physical ramifications from that marriage that lasted for nearly 20 years. In all honesty, it was easier to stay in that place because it was more comfortable. And, I didn’t know a way out. The unknown was scary. I was fearful and didn’t know how to move forward, especially since the physical issues lingered for so long. For that to change, I had to make some conscious decisions and then then practice (yep… PRACTICE) a new way of thinking (renew the mind). I also had to carefully watch the words out of my mouth (Proverbs 18:21). Words are a huge creative force. It was with words (and possibly song) that God created the universe. But, that’s a topic for another blog post.

Kingdom Principle break! I really believe that there are many physical illnesses that are directly caused by our emotional state of mind. Check out the “Emotional Roots of Physical Symptoms” chart that I assembled with my friends Alice and Seneca. Once we deal with our emotions, our bodies tend to heal. We should be under the governance of the spirit gates. That in turn trickles down through the soul and into our body. What does that mean? When you have a symptom on your body, don’t immediately bow down to it. Watch what comes out of your mouth and don’t immediately go into Facebook and say “Please pray for me! I woke up this morning feeling ______” In a sense, that’s bowing down to it and acknowledging that it has a place in your body. Instead, step into the presence of God and allow Papa to speak to you on what needs to be done to bring your body back into health. This doesn't negate going to the doctor is you need to do that. But... be careful who you ask to pray for you  Choose people who will align with God's thoughts about you, not their personal opinions. 

Please note, I do ask people to pray for me. I see no problem with that and we should come alongside those we consider to be part of our inner circle. Outside of my circle, I tend not to tell everyone else what’s going on in my personal life. Why not? Because words ARE a creative force, I want prayers to be brought from heaven to earth and not the other way around. I want people praying for and with me that know how to function from that intimate place with the Trinity. And, I need to be able to take care of my junk on my own, seeking Father for answers. Often times when we ask others to pray for us, we rely on those prayers more than our own. In order to grow out of the baby Christian mentality, we need to learn how to take care of our own stuff. This has been a huge lesson for me. I wasn’t called “motor mouth” for nothing. Ask my dad. He’ll enlighten you on that subject. Just saying…

Back to my example… I eventually figured out how to put my emotions and imagination into their proper place. First off, I had to make a conscious decision not to live out of the fatigue that seemed to plague my body. It was a mindset that I needed to change. When a familiar spirit would come and whisper “But, you know how tired you feel? It’s OK to ________,” I had to get onto my seat of rest and imagine being in that place of intimacy with Father. I then focused on letting the love, light, and glory of the Father flow through a spirit gates and into my emotions or another soul gateway (depended on what Father was showing me at the time). I asked Jesus to show me where I needed healing (emotionally). I then spent a lot of time repenting for wrong mindsets and emotional traumas that I “fed” and hung on to. In case you’re not aware, fear is almost always going to be feeding an emotional trauma.

News flash!!! Things didn’t change right away! I had to practice and practice and practice new thought patterns despite how I physically felt. At first, the more I practiced, the more familiar spirits would try to entice me with some new and twisted theory of staying stuck in that place of emotional pain, which led to physical pain.

I hated spending many years of my life so fatigued that I could barely function. They say when you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, you finally do something about it. As I became whole emotionally, my body healed.

I went through a lot of Inner healing, which may be necessary to help get over the issues that we tend to have. That being said, I think it’s also important that we don’t get stuck there. Look to see if you’re doing what you’ve been asked. To me, emotional healing should start with making sure we’re functioning out of our spirit first. We aren’t supposed to be led by our emotions or how we physically feel. What does that look like? Have you ever said, “That’s just the way I am…” or “I’ve had ______ happen to me” or “All my parts and pieces aren’t liking this.” We’re told that we have the mind of Christ and that we are a new creation. Well, in order to function as a new creation IN HIM, we must put our focus on Him instead of what negative thoughts and emotions run rampant in our minds.

The hardest part of not having dinner with the familiar spirits? They are ever-so-willing to whisper if I give them a sliver of a listen. They can be like vultures waiting to pounce on their prey. I had to look past the physical symptoms and see myself soaking in the River of Life where I allowed the very essence of God's Love to flow through me, changing me into His image. I will also note here that worshiping, praying in tongues, and spending quality time with Father makes a HUGE difference with everything in my life. It starts from the inside out.

What HAS changed through this is my attitude. What other people think should have no affect on what I do or don’t do. Really, it all began with me stepping into who I am in Christ. Out of that I am learning to function as a spirit being first. Then, my spirit governs the soul which in turn pounds out “Yankee Doodle” on my body. And you know what? My body eventually gave up the extreme fatigue. But, it required me governing my life from heaven down to earth - from the top to the bottom of my personal mountain. Everything takes time and PRACTICE in learning new mindsets.

As the familiar spirits try to tempt your ears and eyes, focus on being in Him and choose a response that comes directly from your place of rest in Christ, even if your body continues to be in physical and/or emotional pain. Things that stop the flow are constant complaining/whining, being pessimistic, doing the hypochondriac bit (where you always have to tell others what’s wrong with you), dwelling on the past horrible things that happened to you, unforgiveness, fear, anxiety, and lack of hope. The list could go on but you get the idea.

As I often share, I’m speaking out of experience here because I’ve done every negative item on the list above. It wasn’t until I chose to change my mindset and then practice the new mindset before things started to change. And, I took every small change as a step in the right direction. Little changes are better than no changes.

Lastly, if you need some assistance in walking through healing from trauma, get the Mountains, Gates, and Castles course. Take your time and enjoy the journey!

My declaration over anyone who reads this… May you come into that intimate relationship with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. May you be healed in your soul and body as you function out of who you are in Christ. I speak blessings over and above all that you could ask or think! May you be physically pain free, emotionally whole, and spiritually sensitive to all the Father has for you. May you walk here on earth in what you’ve been called to do and that’s mandated for you life! In the Mighty Name of Jeshua – AMEN!

Blessings!

Practicing His Presence

by Del Hungerford

When you first hear the words “practicing His presence,” that all seems easy enough, right? Well… maybe not so much. I’ll take myself for example – when I first heard that phrase, I thought I had an idea of what it meant but soon realized that I was totally clueless. How so? Well, because I didn’t know HOW to practice being in God's presence.

Over the last few years, I’ve talked with several people who ask me how to see better in the spirit and/or engage the Kingdom Realms of heaven. Several conversations later, I’m beginning to realize that people don’t understand practicing. How do you truly “practice” God’s presence? Well, let's explore the "art of practicing." 

NEWS FLASH! If you're not good at being consistent, now is a good time to learn that craft. If you're one who starts something and gives up easily before something is completed within a reasonable amount of time, then it might be worth your while to take each situation before God and ask what's causing the problem. It may be as simple as you tend to have too many things on your plate or as complicated as a trauma from childhood. You never know unless you ask for revelation. 

Trust me, an issue with being consistent generally has nothing to do with your personality. It's more than likely related to habits, your thought processes, what you believe about yourself (or don't believe), how you were raised, trauma, or a few other things that stop forward motion in its tracks. "Practicing is fun!" no musician ever says in the beginning. We tend to give up when things get hard. But, that's the time when we should be pushing forward. So, let's do this! Determine that you CAN be consistent and start with the small things. Add more "responsibility" as you become more consistent in the small things. 

OK, with that out of the way, let's explore practicing from a professional classical musician's perspective...

Practicing His Presence

Most of my readers know by now that I’m a music teacher. That means I play a musical instrument and have spent many years learning how to perfect the art of playing that instrument. Because I was a band director, I learned to play all of the band instruments – many of them just good enough to be a step ahead of the students. My main instrument is the clarinet with my secondaries being piano and saxophone. I have three degrees in music and played professionally for many years. I used to joke with my college students that I spent more years in a practice room than they’ve been alive. 

I’m probably not overestimating that either… it’s the truth. To be a good classical musician, you have to practically be married to your instrument and a practice room. Ahhhh... the joys of our practice building, Ridenbaugh Hall, on the University of Idaho campus where I spent hours of my life practicing scales and arpeggios, just like the Aristocats. 

In a conversation with a young man, he’d been trying to see with his spiritual eyes but struggled with the “how to” in doing it. Yes, he could see things but often doubted what he saw. My questions to him were “Do you spend time every day going to meet Jesus? Do you write down what you see and hear? Do you go back and ask for more revelation into what you previously saw and/or heard?” Not surprisingly, his answer was that he’d not been consistent. Key word here… CONSISTENT.

Let’s take a look at the typical classical musician’s life… As an undergraduate, I spent a minimum of four hours a day in the practice room. There were times that I’d literally spend my entire practice time on three or four measures, gradually moving the metronome up notch-by-notch until my hands were screaming “enough already!!!” I didn’t care… they had to obey me and if that meant doing it over and over until they cried “Uncle!!!,” I was going to do it. Pretty much, all the way through my doctoral program, I had the clarinet in my mouth at least 10 hours per day. By the end of the day, my chops (slang for embouchure) often felt like raw hamburger.

Fast forward to my teaching career… Part of learning to be a musician is getting some basics down. Some of those basics include “scales and arpeggios.” Whatever you start learning, it’s going to take more time at first but you have to get the patterns in your hands and brain as well as setting a routine. The more consistent and accurate you become, stuff gets easier and takes less time. All of my new students would come in each fall and were hit with “you have to play all scales and arpeggios for a grade at the end of the semester.” I loved the look of torment on their faces when I said this (sinister laugh here…). The point is that those students who did it EVERY DAY by starting slow and gradually speeding up, had their scales and arpeggios (cue up Aristocats movie scene…) at a solid performance level by the end of the semester. Those students who were NOT consistent, struggled. As students improved, playing scales and arpeggios became second nature to them.

How do you transfer all of this information to the spiritual? That’s easy… you do exactly the same thing that I describe with learning scales/arpeggios to anything spiritual you’re learning. It’s called “do it every day.” When I first started learning to see in the spirit, I saw very little but… I kept at it. The more I did it, the more I saw.

NOTE: My goal has always been intimacy with the Father. If that’s not you’re main goal, you’re in trouble. And, I don’t say that lightly.

In my “Mountains, Gates, and Castles” class, I teach people HOW to practice and find time to practice even with a busy lifestyle. I guess it’s time to ask the hard question… “how bad do you really want this?” If you’ve been listening to teachings and haven’t been practicing on a daily basis, you won’t see much change. You’ll have all this stuff crammed into your brain but have little practical experience in how to walk it all out.

What if you doubt what you’re seeing and hearing? You imagine seeing yourself with Jesus where you're seated IN HIM on the throne of your life. I talk about what that looks like in the Mountains, Gates, and Castles class, too. In the Bible, John heard a voice that said “come up here” so he went into the presence of God. Here are some other materials I have that might assist you on your journey:

  • Maturing as a Mystic (book) where I talk about the Christian maturing process similar to that of going from kindergarten all the way through college. You generally don't skip grades and can be at different levels for various subjects. The Christian walk is often very similar. 
  • Maturing as a Mystic: Workbook is where I put a bunch of stories that are followed by some activations. You get to practice!
  • Transforming Mindsets (book) is where you get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of my life as I went through a transformation process of being very ill to where I am today. Guess what!? It took practice!

Bottom line… if you want to learn how to function in the spirit realm, you have to build a relationship with the Father just like you do with friends and family. Reading the Bible will only get you so far. You know the Father by spending time with Him, not just reading about Him. You do that by spending time in His presence or… practicing His presence. If you don’t do this daily, then it’s gonna be a lot more difficult.

Everything comes at a cost. So, what are you willing to “pay?” A time commitment of practicing and being in His presence is a good place to start. The rest often falls into place once you get some habits established. What do I see as the biggest road block for people? They give up too soon and don’t seem to have the drive to keep at it. Sorry, but the microwave mentality of “I want it now” doesn’t work in Kingdom principles. I would reiterate that the first cost will involve time. What are you willing to set aside to develop a relationship with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? Some of it may be easier than you think. It’s just a matter of changing some thought and behavior patterns.

Are you ready to practice His presence? And, if you find these blogs helpful, please share them with your friends and on social media!

Handling the Stresses of Life

by Sue Beckman

Our Journey and How We Handle the Stresses of Life

I am on a journey like everyone else. My journey will look different from yours, and that’s okay. I see our culture today attempting to guide folks into a “sameness” rather than allowing each person to become who God created them to be. It is just an observation; you may agree with me or disagree with me. It is okay either way — the individual will need to look and examine themselves, because I cannot.

 It can be pretty scary to sit and be with yourself. Remove any masks you may have put on so that others accept you. Being quiet and silent, with just your thoughts. Not so easy. Our culture provides us with many ways to dull our thoughts. For example, listening to music with earphones on, watching television, playing games on our electronic devices, reading books, going out with friends, as well as a multitude of many other ways.

 I know. A person can argue that reading and listening to music, as well as scrolling on our electronic devices, are alright. I agree to a point. I love reading and listening to music. I love playing Mahjong or Woodoku on my phone. However, if these past times take up more of your time than getting things accomplished or being with friends and family, there’s a problem.

The dopamine that these activities release in our brains can become an addictive habit. WE NEED to play games on our phones. WE NEED to text. WE NEED to scroll on Instagram or Facebook. WE NEED to stay connected. But connected to what? WE NEED to KNOW what’s going on, what people are talking about. Is what I am doing an addictive action or feeling? That’s because your brain WANTS that dopamine.

 Personally, I have discovered that I can get away with putting down my phone and not playing a game or ten by just going and taking a walk or calling my sisters. When I do that, I am redirecting my dopamine addiction away from something that is really unhealthy. When walking, I take a moment to observe my surroundings. I engage with just being who I am. If I see someone, I greet them. If I know them, I stop, and we have a conversation, and then continue on my walk. After my walk, I feel rejuvenated and clear-headed. I am ready to accomplish what I need to do.

We live and work in a stressful culture. You know what? You don’t have to be stressed, unless you allow it to stress you. I worked in the mortgage and banking industry for over 20 years. Stress? Absolutely. I would take walks with one of my co-workers over lunch or on a break to get away from the stress. I was so stressed out one afternoon after talking with another co-worker in another state that I broke my pencil in my hand. One hand. I was stressed. I went for a 20-minute walk to release the anger and stress. I walked up and down a couple of streets in downtown Seattle. I got my exercise! Again, I returned a lot calmer and refocused with the ability to work out the issue and feel good in the end.

Another way is through meditation. Take 5 minutes and deep breathe. When we are stressed, our bodies go into fight-or-flight mode. Here is when we tend to breathe shallow and not deeply. When we breathe shallowly, our poor brains and cells become oxygen-deprived. Being oxygen-deprived is one reason why people get headaches. If you feel yourself getting tense, stop and breathe. Focus on something lovely or a happy memory. Inhale for four counts and hold for two counts, then exhale slowly for six counts. As you exhale, release the stress. Give your body permission to release the stress/tension. Repeat for at least 3 minutes. (Longer if you can.) You will notice that your whole body will relax.

The meditation process enables you to start rewiring your brain and freeing your thoughts from a rut. I will take some scripture, usually from the Book of Psalms, and read it, focusing on one or two verses and repeating them as I breathe.

 For example: Read Psalm 139 in its entirety. If you are having an issue with your body or even how you view yourself, repeat – “I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God specially handcrafted me.”  Focus on that, and as you inhale your breath, be aware that God’s glory surrounds you. His glory, His presence penetrates your body to the very nuclear cellular level and more. He created you in His image. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Allow yourself to be still and resonate with the statement of who you truly are. Be still. No extra thoughts, allowing them to go by like a train. Focused on “I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God specially handcrafted me.”  With each breath taken and released, you acknowledge the God who created you.

So, I hope that I have given you something to think about and hopefully a couple of activations that may help you along your journey.

Remember that you are not alone. You don’t have to deaden your emotions to the stress you may feel. Different tools can help. One of them is meditation, and the other is taking a walk. Simple things.

Treasury Room in Heaven

by Del Hungerford

This post is a continuation of "seeing in the spirit." By providing examples, this should help you on your own journey of discovery. I'm sure that as you read these encounters, visuals come to your mind, just like your imagination is at work when reading stories in the Bible. This blog post was on another site until it was posted here in 2025. I don't remember the original date but just by reading it again, it appears to be the fall of 2015 and into the spring of 2016. 

As we learned in a previous post, our body is a living temple where we commune with God. It, too, has rooms and places for us to do that. Imagery is one way God helps us understand the concepts He's trying to teach us. When I first wrote this post, I didn't have that understanding. Therefore, I now know that this treasury room is in my heart and has been there since the beginning. It's a matter of tapping into the resources already within me. This may seem confusing at first but think about it... We are in heaven and on earth at the same time. Everything on earth is a mirror of what's in heaven so it only makes sense that "as above, so it is below." We are multi-dimensional beings!

All the rooms and spaces I mention in these encounters are all within the garden of my heart - my personal temple of intimacy with the Trinity. These two encounters take place in what I call the "treasury room of heaven" but it's probably my personal treasury room that I'm finally realizing is there. 

October

I’m suddenly standing before a thick HUGE wooden door, vines growing all around. It’s very ornate and shaped like one of those rounded church doors at the top. All I can see is the door because it’s so huge; nothing else is visible.

As I approach, the door opens so, I go in. I see chests with money falling out all over the place. Then, I look to the right and see several envelopes. One is marked “payday.” Another is marked “what the enemy stole.” I see several more envelopes with writing on them. I can see there is much more to this room than the eye can see but stop here and ask “What am I supposed to take?” Although I don’t hear an audible voice, I have a sense in my spirit that I’m to take two payday envelopes along with two “what the enemy stole” envelopes. I also “feel” through thought transfer that one of each of these envelopes is mine and the other two are for a someone whose name I hear in my thoughts.

Jesus, who is standing beside me, hands me the four envelopes with a twinkle in His eye. I can tell that this is His pleasure to do for me. Nothing is said but I feel and understand His thoughts. I also understood that I’m to go back into the realm of earth and “deliver” the envelopes.

By faith, I see myself come back and deliver two of the envelopes to the person whose name I heard. In my spirit, I see myself handing them to her spirit. Holy Spirit then speaks to me… “Go to the Bank.” Again, by faith, I go to the bank in the spirit and deposit the remaining two envelopes into my bank. I stand at the counter and hand over the envelopes to the teller, one I’ve not seen before. Her eyes open wide as she peruses the contents of the envelopes. I see cash literally pouring out of them. After some time, she finally hands me my deposit slips.

January

I’m worshiping and then find myself in heaven with Jesus. We are skipping down a sparkling golden pathway towards the treasury room in Heaven. The grass next to the path is an iridescent green.

As we approach the entrance to the Treasury Room, I can see the massive arched doorway. It opens as we approach. A tall being in purple robes with a gold belt and all kinds of shining stones welcomes us. I know this is Melchizedek because he is the keeper of this room.

I’m led to the right wall by Jesus where there are many jars on shelves stuffed with rolls of bills. Jesus nods that it’s OK to take one, so, I do. I take the lid off and ask what to do.

“Hold them at the tips of your fingers,” Jesus says.

I do and the money disappears inside my fingers, soaking completely into my hands.

Jesus then leads me to a rock on the floor. After lifting it up, I see a gold bar.

“Hold it up to your belly,” instructs Jesus.

As I do this, it soaks into me through my belly. I’m then directed to the left wall where more jars are stored. They are crystal clear and upon opening one of them, I see all kinds of precious gems.

“Pull as many out as you want,” Jesus motions to me.

I then grab diamonds, rubies, sapphires, topaz, turquoise, and others I don’t recognize. I look to Jesus waiting for the instructions on how to assimilate these.

“Press them into your skin so they cover every inch of your body. Don’t leave any skin uncovered.”

As I begin to do this, each gem becomes a part of my skin. I’m reminded this is how Satan looked when he was in Heaven. After I finish, I sense that it’s time to go. Jesus and I turn around to leave, thanking Melchizedek on the way out. Although I just now realize it, Melchizedek had been with us the whole time watching and enjoying my time with Jesus.

I turn to leave with Jesus and as we stand in the doorway, the music “The Wedding” comes on. I know Jesus hears it… He takes my hand and we waltz out of the Treasury Room, back down the golden path.

Upon arriving back in my room, I know that it’s important to release what I’ve received into the atmosphere around me. I have a basic understanding of what some items I received cover and others, I know will be revealed to me at a later time.

Conclusion

These experiences happened a year before the original writing of this blog post (on another site). Reading these journal entries once again, I realized much of what I received began manifesting around me within a few months. 

The second experience was in January. By July, seven months later, most all of my debt was paid off. Yes, I was in the process of getting there anyway but difficulties did come along to try and keep that from happening.

Within four months of the January date, I lost one of my highest paying jobs. Not feeling that I was to go out and find another job, I waited to see how Papa wanted me to proceed. Circumstances around me got quite intense during this time, too. In fact, more intense than it had been for several years. But, I was learning how to sit on my seat of rest and function from a place of rest and peace so… what would have frosted my buttons a few months earlier where I’d have retaliated, I stayed in that place of rest and legislated the situations from my seat of rest… in Christ.

To make a long story short, Papa worked it all out, and I now have more than enough, which to the natural mind, doesn’t seem possible. In the Treasury Room, I received some provision way ahead of when it was physically needed. Out of rest, even during the midst of some tough circumstances, the promises of YHVH were handed to me. It was mine to receive that provision by faith… a choice to receive and then believe.

What can you do with this?

The best part about stories is they paint  picture. If you are in a place where finanances need to manifest that seem impossible, then practice bringing what's needed into your treasury. Oops... there's that practice word again. Go into that intimate place whether it be on a bench next to the River of Life, in a flower garden, or someplace else you enjoy spending time with Jesus. Start asking questions and wait for answers. For me, it was easier to do it while writing. I'd start to write whatever came to my mind and then it began to flow out of me. This way, I didn't judge what I was sensing, seeing, hearing, or feeling. 

I know what's in these two encounters was real because it had a positive effect on my circumstances, especially in the financial arena. It's interesting that we eventually get a new level of trials that can brings us to greater levels of authority. We're in 2025 now, many years later, and I'm met with a similar situation. Hmmm... what are the odds of that? More is being required of me just like a 6th grader has harder materials to learn than a first grader. We literally go from maturity to maturity. The key here is to embrace the trials and learn from them which launches us into greater authority as Sons of God.

If you're interested in seeing how this works, might I suggest you read two books I wrote recently that show us HOW we mature throughout our Christian walk? Here are those links so check them out! Don't be concerned with the title. The word "mystic" simply means "mystery." Here, you are learning about the mysteries of God and how they apply to you in your personal maturing process as a Son of God. 

Blessings!
